Super guide, Ramy! 😃 Ramy guided us through fascinating Egyptian history. The experience covered everything: the pyramids, camel riding, a restaurant visit, and the GEM. Everything was explained in detail in German. We were a group of nine, and it was perfect. If we do it again, it will only be with Ramy. Best regards, the Habibi group.

Pyramids We had a wonderful day at the pyramids. It was a magnificent experience, made even more enriching by our guide, Ayman Fawzi. Highly professional, kind, and passionate, he accompanied us throughout the tour, sharing his knowledge with clarity and enthusiasm. His explanations brought the history of ancient Egypt to life. I recommend him 100% to anyone wishing to discover the pyramids under the best possible conditions.

A Great Experience We had a wonderful excursion with Ramy; everything went smoothly—punctually and reliably—and his commentary was very informative and interesting. Ramy speaks excellent German. Our driver, Ali, was also top-notch.

Pyramids are a true wonder! We had door to door service which helped take the stress away of having to book a taxi, a bit of a mission if you have no WiFi. Tour guide was a true historian and knew his stuff, lots of fun facts provided which added to the overall experience. Could have spent more time walking around as lots to see but it was fine. Didn't know the inclusive price didn't include a tour around all 9 pyramids so had to pay extra for that! Plus all the tips!! In hindsight, we could have done a DIY job and saved a few pounds.
